Directions In Life Quotes

“FORKED BRANCHES We grew up on the same street, You and me. We went to the same schools, Rode the same bus, Had the same friends, And even shared spaghetti With each other's families. And though our roots belong to The same tree, Our branches have grown In different directions. Our tree, Now resembles a thousand Other trees In a sea of a trillion Other trees With parallel destinies And similar dreams. You cannot envy the branch That grows bigger From the same seed, And you cannot Blame it on the sun's direction. But you still compare us, As if we're still those two Kids at the park Slurping down slushies and Eating ice cream. Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun (2010)”

“The only person to influence the direction and purpose of your life is the one who gave it. God!”

“Nature is poetry, dreams, and the coming to oneself. The wind takes us away and toward, changing our direction, closing our eyes against the dust it stirs up from the ground. Where it came from cannot be found. The sun is light and so the moon, looking from the sky on to the earth below. The rain brings water to fill the lakes and streams, and fall upon the children running in the yard, mouths wide open to drink it in. And what of the trees? Hug them, love them, sit beneath their shelter, draw upon their roots, see the leaves and shoots reaching for the sky, and always wonder why.”

“A trustworthy spiritual compass is absolutely necessary when it comes to navigating our feelings and circumstances, and true north is the Word of God...When we decide to go by what feels right, rather than trusting the instrument God has given us to live by, we risk getting lost and losing our way.”
